Before you pay: check your VIN for recalls

Some failures are covered by a safety recall or a warranty extension. Our free recall check lists NHTSA recalls for your car's model and year.

How it works

1. Every price is from a public owner post (Reddit, Bimmerpost, BimmerFest…) and links to it. 2. Fair ranges are the middle 50% of those prices, split by dealer and independent shop. 3. Owners submit what they paid, and the ranges get sharper every week.

Weekly: what BMW owners actually paid

New price reports, recalls and warranty extensions, once a week. Free.
